Title: PolicyKit: Multiple vulnerabilities
Date: April 17, 2012
Bugs: #314535, #364973, #401513
ID: 201204-06

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PolicyKit, the worst of
which may allow a local attacker to gain root privileges.

Background
==========

PolicyKit is a toolkit for controlling privileges for system-wide
services.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 sys-auth/polkit < 0.104-r1 >= 0.104-r1

Description
===========

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in PolicyKit:

* Error messages in the pkexec utility disclose the existence of local
files (CVE-2010-0750).
* The pkexec utility initially checks the effective user ID of its
parent process for authorization, instead of checking the real user
ID (CVE-2011-1485).
* Members of the "wheel" group are able to execute commands as an
administrator without a password (CVE-2011-4945).

Impact
======

A local attacker could gain elevated privileges or sensitive
information.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All PolicyKit users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=sys-auth/polkit-0.104-r1"

Title: SWFTools: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date: April 17, 2012
Bugs: #332649
ID: 201204-05

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

A heap-based buffer overflow in SWFTools could result in the execution
of arbitrary code.

Background
==========

SWFTools is a collection of SWF manipulation and generation utilities
written by Rainer Böhme and Matthias Kramm.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 media-gfx/swftools <= 0.9.1 Vulnerable!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Certain packages are still vulnerable. Users should migrate
to another package if one is available or wait for the
existing packages to be marked stable by their
architecture maintainers.

Description
===========

Integer overflow errors in the "getPNG()" function in png.c and the
"jpeg_load()" function in jpeg.c could cause a heap-based buffer
overflow.

Impact
======

A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted PNG
or JPEG file, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the process, or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

Gentoo discontinued support for SWFTools. We recommend that users
unmerge swftools:

# emerge --unmerge "media-gfx/swftools"
